When my yogurt is finished I have a very fine sieve, that was passed down from my Greek godmother. I drain, to the consistency of a Greek yogurt. We dispose of the whey from yogurt, cottage cheese, or butter.
I have by mistake drained it too long and it actually was the same consistency as brick of cream cheese. I ended up using it as a dip or on bread.
I was taught as very young child how to make yogurt in a warmed oven. My godmother as she neared 90 fell in love with my yogurt maker. She was no longer capable of the labor intensive recipe she grew up with. But she always said the yogurt was close but not as good as the recipe passed down for generations.
